Auto Repeat function

The Auto Repeat function allows the recorder to repeat playback up to the AUTO RTN END point, automatically locate the AUTO RTN START point, then play up to the AUTO RTN END point until you cancel the function by pressing the STOP button. To enable this function, both AUTO PLAY mode and AUTO RTN mode should be turned on, and the AUTO RTN START point and the AUTO RTN END point should already be set.

Using this function will facilitate the Auto Punch In/Out and Manual Punch In/Out rehearsal. See “Hint” after the following section.

<Note>

If the "Chain Play mode" in the SETUP mode is set other than "Off," ON/OFF of AUTO REPEAT cannot be ex- ecuted.

•You can set a preroll time in the “Preroll Time?” menu in SETUP mode so that the recorder will start playback preroll time before the locate point. You can set the preroll time from 0 to 10 seconds. Refer to the chapter “Changing the Initial Settings (SETUP Mode)” on page “112.”

You can make repeated Auto Punch In/Out rehearsal much easier and quicker by using the Auto Repeat function.

Set the AUTO RTN START point prior to the AUTO PUNCH IN point, and set the AUTO RTN END point after the AUTO PUNCH OUT point. The recorder will repeat the operation automatically so you can concentrate on your rehearsal.

Cancel Auto Repeat mode before you record a take.

The recorder will play this range repeatedly for rehearsal, which makes it easy for you to check the recording level and practice your performance.
